APPLICABILITY: This method may be used for simultaneous measurements; however, interactions between analytes may reduce breakthrough volumes and alter analyte recovery.
INTERFERENCES: At high humidity, the breakthrough volumes may be reduced. Other volatile organic solvents such as alcohols, ketones, ethers, and halogenated hydrocarbons are potential interferences. OTHER METHODS: This method is an update for NMAM 1500 issued on August 15, 1994 [2] which was based on methods from the 2nd edition of the NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods: S28, cyclohexane [3]; S82, cyclohexene [3]; S89, heptane [3]; S90, hexane [3]; S94, methylcyclohexane [3]; S378, octane [4]; and S379, pentane [4].
